Sarah Ikumu - Loliwe by Zahara

Loliwe holds a special place in my heart as it worked as a catalyst to me discovering my passion and talent from music. From singing this back in Kenya ages 11/12, I knew this melody wasnt just music but one that teaches growth and journey in every step I take. Therefore it’s only right I pay homage to Zahara for her artistry and the shift she’s made in South African music and for being a guiding force in my story.

South Africans 🇿🇦 are indeed proud of you, young lady. Surely you nailed it 👌. It is stunning hearing it from someone beyond the ocean sings it so beautiful like this. Applause 👏...

[@Itsjey254]

Do me a favor and listen to this while your eyes are closed and just feel the music flow 😢😢omg this girl is an angel ❤❤🇰🇪

[@franquepapi]

This is the last tear I'm crying for Zahara... Thank you Sarah... May we, who mourn the death of a legend, find comfort and peace in the hope that she's finally at peace! ❤️❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@map4511]

Zahara must be jumping with joy in heaven hearing a non south african nailing her song like this big up to u Sarah

[@dana780]

Before I even read the words, I was moved to tears. Sara your voice is amazing. What a lovely tribute. 🇺🇸 Thank you for expanding my musical knowledge.

[@wtfcmonwtf]

I don't care what games and politics the music industry plays with artistes... but get over yourselves and put this girl where she needs to be....!!!!! This is GOD GIVEN...!!!! Of course hard work too... Hands down Aretha, Hands down Whitney, Hands down Braxton, hands down... should I keep going on?

[@fauziatembo]

Sarah I have followed your journey for a while now and I have always been astounded at the power in your voice and the confidence in your vocal. This one just took the cake.

[@user-zy4nk9nm8z]

I so wish I could meet you face to face because from since your very tender age, you made me she'd tears. Now to hear you nailing Zahara's song makes me feel collaborating with you. Please talk to your Producer/s, and that will be an honour to me. Keep on shining my extra-ordinair Sarah.
